That’s another year over and done with. And in many ways I’m thinking people are delighted to see the back of 2018 as it certainly wasn’t great for a lot of people. But there was good news as well, and it helps to remember that is isn’t all doom and gloom. There have been two […]

Well, I’ve been terrible bad at the blogging in November. But the one book I reviewed was a great book, so I’d highly recommend you give Us against you a try, but only if you’ve read Beartown first. Filmwise I didn’t review a single film, but I did watch some. I continued with my Rockathon […]
